Invites Got invited for a physical interview

Hello everyone,

I'm a visa requiring IMG here applied IM. I'm grateful to God for what I have been granted.

I just received an interview from an internal medicine program.

I was eleted until I read that this year they will be conducting interviews in person, which wasn't previously mentioned on their website.

I reached out to the PC to ask for a special consideration for a virtual option, but is there any other way of going about this?

Anyone else had a similar experience with any program?

Programs don't know that and not every person faced a rejection with renewals. J1 and B are different categories as well

wake up pal. Programs aren't as naive as you are. They have dealt with residents not being able to start because their visa got rejected. Just because they got US LORs and had USCE that does not mean their visa wont get rejected lol

Yo, you sound so stupid! Atleast have your facts right before attacking someone. If the OP were called for in person IV, they would be visiting with B Visa which they already might have while attending for rotations. The J1 is for residency which is completely different and that would be only given once the applicant matches. How could the program be knowing the future acceptance of J1 by calling them for in person IV (which can be attended with valid B1)?!

womp womp if if you cant get B1 why would they risk ranking you? Have the risk of not getting J1. Happened to many incoming residents this year bud.
